Life is too short to be serious all the time: Donald Duck presents unconventional motivations for publishing in academia
No full textIn this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases, “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights, particularly for academics at the start of their scholarly journey, and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia

Donald R. McNeil Papers
No full textDonald R. McNeil worked much of his life in academia. From 1965 to 1968, McNeil was Chancellor of the University Extension Program in Madison, Wiscsonsin, during which time he lobbied for the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities. In 1968, McNeil received the first Emmy given to a public television station (WHA-TV) for his series "Pretty Soon Runs Out" - a forum on integration and race relations. From 1969 to 1975, McNeil served as Chancellor of the University of Maine System. During that time, he participated in the creation of the Public Broadcasting Service and was elected to the board in 1973. In 1978, McNeil became the president of the University of Mid-America (UMA) which used electronic media to produce long distance learning courses marketed in eleven mid-west universities. Later, using the British Open University as a guideline, McNeil began to design and research an American Open University which would give credit and degrees based upon its own curriculum using technology as a classroom. After the New York Institute of Technology agreed to consider the American Open University as a long distance arm of its college, McNeil served as Provost from 1983 to 1987. Donald R. McNeil began work on the National Public Broadcasting Archives in 1988, and served as its director from 1990 to 1993. The collection concentrates on McNeil's involvement in the University of Mid-America and the American Open University
